Along with his/her report card, your child came home with a new family project today. This family is based on the popular story, The Mitten. An audio reading of the book is available on YouTube.

The project package includes some activities to help your child develop vocabulary about the story. These are play-based literacy activities for families to enjoy together, regardless of a parent's proficiency in French. ​The goal of this family project is for your child to correctly retell the story using finger puppets. Your child will also invent an ending/continuation to this story. Of course, your child can personalize the project and presentation as per his/her interests or ideas.​As always, family projects are intended to be FUN and LOW STRESS! The total amount of time to complete all activities and prepare for the presentation should not exceed 2 hours.

Please complete this at your convenience; you may do it in multiple stages, or finish it all in one sitting. Do as little or as much as your schedule permits. Encourage your child to be creative, and have fun participating in the learning process!

​You can access the Grade 1 and Grade 2 instruction sheets and rubrics under the Family Projects tab or by clicking the buttons below.The project package and your child's puppets can be returned to school upon completion. There is no specific due date.

Please try to complete the project before the Easter Break for the best sequencing of your child's learning. Of course, if you require assistance or are unable to complete the project with your child, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

I really enjoyed this project, we both did. I loved the YouTube version especially with the sound effects. I thought it was very appropriate project for Grade 1.
